And thanks for the drift spec award, Import Monster will be helping me source replacement parts yet again hahaha

Hi all

I have a strange request in relation to the dyno day held last year at ESP on Sunday 10 July 2011.

My request is if anyone that witnessed my car (blue Supra, rego RP 071) on the dyno during the 1st run and noticed the AFR reading inside the shop on the monitor, would you be able to Private Message me as to your thoughts on just that.

I would like to keep it to a PM and happy to discuss it there only.

Also, if anyone has been taken for a drive in my car without me driving, I would also like to hear from you.

Thanks in advance.

Ross

So bit of a grave dig, but didnt think it worthy of making a new thread. Any possibility of another one this year? I want to see if i can double my result from the last one (mind you its a different car lol) :P

Kats your Girl for Skylines :D - Dobbed in

and for Supra's - Nate / Ross ?

Kat tried again later last year but nobody bit :(

( i think it was $50 for 3 consecutive runs on the Dyno - CHEAP! - and no they do not tune or change anything at the time)

So worthy of a new thread then Richard?

Worst case i could probably fill about 10 spots of falcodore generic stuff lol, i know people that are keen for this kinda stuff

Have to get some commitment from the locals (SAU and Poopraville) and speak with Kat and the boys at ESP.

There is a few more active members lately which is a bonus. I beleive Kat knows of this other car enthusiast site and would mix it up a bit outside of Supra V Skyline.

Something like CCS or CES. Cant remember :huh:

KAT can you hear me ??

(be good to see your numbers :) )

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
